One of the interesting aspects of this forum is the number of diverse viewpoints received when viewing any particular issue. Imagine there was a one room building with windows on four sides and in the center was an issue being discussed. We'd get viewpoints from:
- The East Window: The History/Military/Mall Ninja side, slightly biased toward historical or military technology.
- The West Window: The Big Game hunters. Biased a bit toward energy, penetration. Heavy stuff at moderate speeds is nothing to sneeze at.
- The Southern Window: Varmint Hunters and Wildcatters. A serious preference for velocity AND accuracy. Air time is a preference, and recoil just spoils your view of the hit through the scope.
- The Northern Window: Competitive shooters. It's all about holes downrange.
As I read posts, you wonder about personal preferences and objectivity. If you only look through one window, it all seems black and white.
Because I've already debunked the myth of one cartridge being more accurate than another. I have a rifle built for precision shooting chambered for the most "inherently inaccurate" around that shoots in the .2's and USSR a long time poster has shown us what a well built and loaded for 30-06 can do.
If You came here expecting your name to allow you to make broad sweeping generalizations and the masses to blindly digest em you came to the wrong forum
In a similar fashion, We're not all going to blindly accept sweeping statements like:
I've already debunked the myth of one cartridge being more accurate than another.
Come now:
- Would an '06 really be able to compete with a .30 BR for short range benchrest? How would you explain the dominance of the 6mm PPC for SRBR?
Nor would may readers embrace the wisdom of a building a new F-Class rifle chambered for the '06. In .308, it can't move the heavier bullets like the .300 Win mag, and if you're moving 155 Sceaners or 175 SMK(s) it doesn't have much (if any) advantage or .308 Win.
